    Looks like a Coralife needle wheel skimmer which isn't a bad skimmer for the price! What tank are you looking to use that on?

    the 100. I like the set-up because it is plug and play. I dont have to make anything. Im not to good at DIY stuff, and I want this to work. I also like how it comes with a light.

    They are nice and a good price structure, I just don't know about its ability to handle your increased bioload in the near future!!!>>>????
    Check out AquaC EV series ssssskimmers! I have the EV180 on my 125 with a Mag9,5 pump! I love them-powerful and quiet
    easy to set up as well!

    Oh I would really like to get an AquaC!! I think ill just upgrade the coralife later. It will be a huge upgrade from the "Prizim" skimmer I have now, :lol: . Im only getting one or two more fish for the 100, so im not gonna have a huge fish load. The last fish will be a flame angel, and some kinda sand shifter goby. Thanks for the help CR. Ill let you guys know if I go on this, I just got my tek t-5 light so im broke!!

    I hear ya. Just becareful not to cut back on skimmers and lighting, the two most important things equipment wise or you will be sorry later and will have to spend more money later to upgrade...I have seen it numerous times...me being one of the guilty ones!hahha

    Good pointers!! My lighting is covered now, and should be enough for SPS corals, lol. But my filterin is lacking, that is why im looking to upgrade it.

    the only think i dont like is that the skimmer comes after the refuge... imo it should be the other way around...

    I like it that way. Then the fuge can grow, and get the nutrince they need. Ill keep looking, and see what I find. A local person is getting one, so ill just see how it looks. Thanks
